Sweet Potato Cakes

I just noticed food here in Korea are more healthy rather than the food in Philippines, teheee. Anyway example is cup cakes, haha I never know that there is cup cake made in sweet potato all I know is chocolate and cheese in Philippines, pardon me but I seldom eat cup cakes in our country. But I guess there is nothing impossible here they even have a sweet potato pizza so how more a cup cake?

Anyway when we arrived here in Korea in Bangladesh and we shopped I have found that boxes of cup cakes and chocolate cakes are on sale so I grab a few, thinking to send them home again to my family.

But it is so hard to resist a temptation, I am seeing them every time and I keep fighting my urge not to open and eat them but just tonight I lost, hmmp because of Pookie bear instead of telling me not to eat he keeps tempting me to eat the final blow when he said, “Eat it you are not going to send it right away so you can just buy again another time” so the dork me got the scissors and boom it is open so while typing this I am enjoying sweet potato cup cake and a cup of coffee.

 

Chicken Adobo

It seems these past few days my blogs is all about food, I am thinking of making a  food/kitchen blog well actually I already have one in wordpress named Cozynah as I am learning how the site works like but just like my other blogs I just started it and done. It’s empty anyway because I don’t think I can manage few more blogs, it is easy to make and update templates but what is hard is updating it everyday. Posting relevant post is hard thing to do if you have nothing to write.
Anyway today I have cooked chicken adobo, it’s been a long time since I cooked chicken.  I just ate two pieces when I had a lunch and just tonight when I went in our kitchen I found out a voracious bear eat half of the food,  what’s left with the whole chicken is  a small bowl. Don’t know what happened to his diet plans because during weekdays Pookie bear don’t eat meat or something sweet and oily. Now he is asking me if it is possible to cook pork adobo and I said yes so he wants it on weekend. 

Dreams and Nightmares

Just wake up two hours ago I am feeling sleepy this two successive days, Pookie Bear scheduled has changed because of the winter season so he wakes up early to go to school for an early class which I am not used too. So when he go to school, I went back to bed and sleep. And I am thankful I can sleep, if you doesn’t know I have a little phobia sleeping alone in our apartment during noon time because I always had a nightmare. So since then I don’t sleep alone when Pookie bear is at school but today I can sleep even though I am still dreaming but not that bad anymore that I can’t breath. The other day I was wake up by neighbors coming downstairs, today I was wake up by the water coming down the apartment maybe the other occupants in the second or third floor is washing their clothes anyway when I wake up my body is sore as well as my eyes.

I think it depends on the position of our bed, because it also happened before in Seoul but when we changed the bed position I seldom had a nightmare anymore and same here too since we transfer the bed. (Typing this I heard knocks on our door, every time I head knocks I feel afraid and nervous). I think I am being pathetic.

Anyway back to dreaming, there are times I am dreaming and maybe I am already having a nightmare where I am speaking in the middle of the night or grasping for my breath and crying, my room mate I mean Pookie won’t bother waking me up. He would just ask me in the morning if I am dreaming because I sounds weird. Lol! The other morning was the funny thing, I think I am dreaming and in my dream I am raising my hand to hit someone or something (I can’t remember it fully) but I was get awaken when I finally hit that someone which is no other than Pookie bear I hit him in the head into his surprised. He both get awaken dunno why I am raising my hand…hahaha

Cooking the best exercise (lol)

I had a busy day yesterday in cooking, I made hamburger patties for my sandwich, cooked sauce for my spaghetti and boil the pasta. I put spam on my spaghetti sauce this time as well as beef even though the spaghetti sauce I used has a meat already. It looks like there’s a birthday party but the truth I am the only one who will eat all of these this week because Pookie bear is back on his diet., so mangan tana! 
After few minutes Pookie bear asked me to accompany him to super market because we are out of stock of some goods at home like olive oil, onions, eggs, brown rice and etc., Since I arrived here in Korea, we don’t have sugar at home because I am the only one drink coffee and plus the fact that coffee here are instant or three in one you are going to think that it is not needed anymore. But these past few months if you have read my old post I always encounter food intolerance or I called it food poisoning before (lol), a realization came to my mind that I badly need sugar in those instances. That’s how it works in Philippines right? Like if you eat a fish and suddenly your face turns red for sure your parents will asked you to eat  a spoonful of sugar. Partly too, I think my coffee needs sugar too, these past few days it does not tasted good to me anymore, it just tasted like water with coffee. 
The sad part Pookie bear won’t pay it because he said we don’t need it, if you are going to notice our life here looks like we are just playing “bahay-bahayan”  our knife is very small to cut a squash we don’t have a frying pan until I bought one in my own expense. Pookie bear don’t like buying things because we cannot carry them all if we moved. All he wants to carry is his bag of clothes.

Sweet Tangerine

When I wasted something Pookie bear will not buy this thing anymore, like when I wasted two pieces of banana. He told me no more banana, so what we got the other day is a bag of tangerine which is almost wasted too. I just put them in the box and when Pookie bear checked them last night some are already moldy, so he decided to keep them in the fridge in my objection because I really don’t like eating fruits that are cold, anyway I decided to eat some of the tangerine and I found out those tangerine with moldy part are the sweetest.  So I ate the part that are secure from mold while watching Saw VII.

Sharing on New Year Celebration

Hi guys how’s your New Year celebration? About us, we’re asleep during Christmas and New Year’s eve it is the second time we missed it  and I was not able to jump when twelve o’clock morning strikes (hehe) still wishing to be more taller. I don’t if it is real but I just started jumping when I was in high school when some of my distant cousins did it and since then every New Year I jump. 
Anyway the other day my younger sister posted some photos on how they celebrate the New Year, they celebrated it by sharing. That means they had a feast, every house hold in our family must have a share of food on the table. My sister says their part is to cook pancit and I don’t know what are the others part. Anyway below is my father cooking a lechon, he is always one of the cook if there’s a big celebration. Beside him is Goma (not the actor) my cousin’s friend and assistant. The lechon is shared by my older cousin who landed a  job after so many years of vacancy, as public teacher.

This is the second time we they celebrated New Year like this sharing, the first time I was there which is years ago, our share that time is just “puto” because my mother knew how to make a puto by flour with cheese. Well as you can see they also had a videoke, I wonder who rented it from town. The venue was on my Aunt house, the eldest daughter.

What I wish this New Year the whole Faderogaya family will be united, no more envy to each other and misunderstanding. No more fights too especially most of the members now are professional.Hopefully this will be the start of strong ties and bonding. One blood, one family.

Oily sweet Wednesday

Last night Pookie bear and I shop for our daily supplies, we bought meat and vegetables too. I decided to buy one whole little piece of squash.  After sometime I feel hungry and decided to cook but the darn thing is I can’t cut the squash into pieces or even into half. Our knife is too small, so I have asked Pookie bear to cut it for me. So he did but he is not done yet I grabbed the knife from him and decided to peel the squash before cutting it into squares. Pookie was a little anxious the way I cut them so he told me why not boiled it so it is not that hard to peel and cut so I did. (Lol). Anyway to cut the story short I just sauteed the squash with meat and Pookie bear likes it a lot that nothing is left anymore for me to eat tonight.
That’s why I cooked another viand, my menu for tonight is meat cooked in a ketchup not spaghetti sauce anymore.  I used the old carrots in the fridge I think these carrot are already 2-3 months in our fridge (lol), I just used the present ingredients in our apartment and did not bother to buy anything because most vegetables here are sold per pack or grams not like in Philippines you can buy per piece.

After eating I feel like eating something sweet so I keep whining to Pookie bear I want to eat chocolate that he told to eat the one in the fridge (a gift I received from a local) but I remember  I still have chocolates on my bag so I look for it and I found Bounty Chocolate and some Bangladeshi chocolates. Anyway Bounty is my favorite chocolate now, I love coconut so much and Bounty has it.
Oh yeah, if you noticed my blog template here changes in every minute because I am trying to change my template and guess what happened? I lost all the blog in my blog list that stops me from updating it, I am sorry to say that. So if you want to add your blog in my list just leave a message.

Glad to be home …

Hi folks, finally we’re home. We arrived last night here in Korea, our flight was delayed for thirty minutes because of traffic in the sky way (lol). We took a taxi for one and half hour so we arrived at our apartment at around twelve o’clock in the morning. I just empty our bags, load the laundry in the washer, hanged the clothes and and off to bed, feel very tired and sleepy while Pookie bear is sick but he managed to take a bath before sleeping.

When I wake up this morning, the same old thing. Washed our shoes and washed another batch of clothes. And cooked rice, white and brown. Soaked our white socks and wash them if the balcony is already free from wet clothes. It is a tiring vacation instead of long rest and instead of leisure what we got is colds, sick, loss bowel movement and etc., it seems our immune system goes down, thinking if we brought a parasite with us, anyway this sick feeling really happens when you visited a dirty city like Bangladesh.

Our six hour flight from Malaysia is really tiring, especially if you have no proper sleep from the previous days. No proper food too and etc.,when I first used my computer I feel new, lol. It seems I already forgot how to manipulate my own gadget. Haha, I am looking for a mouse and not a scroll pad.

Blogging here in Bangladesh

Hi folks, how’s life? How’s your Christmas? Blogging here from Bangladesh, currently we are here in Khulna in one of their top ends hotel. We are going to take a six hour bus later to Dhaka, so while killing our time just messing around inside the business center. It’s a long bus trip but we have no choice every hour counts, we can’t wait for another day just to take the local plane to Dhaka. So approximately we are going to arrive Dhaka early in the morning and then fly to Chittagong.

Just finished our advance dinner too, darn I am bloated and had a take out of my food too, maybe it will served as packed dinner tonight at the bus (lol). Wish me luck that I don’t pee on my pants, hahaha. I have a lot of stories to tell when we got home. Well more pictures too but of course it will be on my travel blog, right?

So as for now I am wishing you a Happy New Year!
